INTRODUCTION
W.L. BaiZy and A. BoreZ showed (Compactification of arithmetic quotients of bounded symmetric domains, Annals of Math. 84(1966), p. 442-528) that the graded rings of automorphic forms are finitely generated, provided that rather general conditions are satisfied.
Let
be a system of generators, then between the Y. some poly~
nomial equations
Fv(yo,···.ym)

will hold. and all these equations
are consequences of finitely many of them.
Let us assume for the sake
of simplicity (although it is wrong in general) that the Y same weights.

Then the F (y.) are homogeneous polynomials, and their

zeros form a projective variety Gn in the projective space pm with the coordinates Yi' whose dimension is
n < m.
Projective varieties
are the most common examples of algebraic varieties although it can be shown that there exist (rather exceptional) algebraic varieties which are not projective.
The theorem of Baily and Borel opens the way to
